Please help: After going round & round looking at catalogs etc. Bill & I decided that we wanted a custom designed cage for our ferrets & commissioned John, a friend who's a professional cabinetmaker, to build it for us. It's beautiful, it's @ 4 feet wide by 4 feet high by @ 34 inches deep, has 2.5 platforms above the floor (I wanted them to have lots of room to play chase) a nestbox (with it's own door so they can feel private byt arent really out of your reach) and a full height door to the main area so we can reach the guys at any level. The top is half wire for ventilation and half a solid shelf to store ferret supplies on. All the floors are of white laminate board so they're easy to clean, the ramps between the levels have little rungs on them for easier traction, the upper platforms and ramps are removeable for easier cleaning, and the woodwork on the frame is completely finished - all the screws have been plugged in and it's stained a nice dark walnutty tone. This is the ultimate in deluxe ferret housing. There's only one problem: we wanted the cage to go into our basement computer room so the guys could hang out with us down there where it's cooler, but not be endangered by the oodles of un-ferret-proofed stuff that we keep in there, however when I gave John the approximate dimensions that I wanted I failed to measure the door to the basement room first. (a door is a door right?? wrong!) Well naturally we turn out to have an extra small door to our basement room and the cage cant be gotten in there without completely disassembling it & destroying the quality of the woodwork. So I'm hoping there's somebody else out there in the Seattle area that might be interested in purchasing this deluxe ferret home for their fuzzies. I think it could happily house 5 or more ferrets per standard numbers quoted in cage catalogs. We'd like to get what we paid for it since it's brand new & basically unused. Please let me know if you'd be interested in it, or forward this to anyone you know who might be. sorry I cant post a picture, but I dont have a web page yet... As soon as it's sold we plan to have John build another, taking into account the size of the doorway ;-> [I'm not posting the price since BIG objected, but will gladly give any info you wish by email.] Eden and her 3 guys: Misha, Lemke & Bill (the human one) [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 1661]
